　また、これら各管理区域ごとに地上装置６が設置されており、この地上装置６には、地上装置６が設置された各管理区域に属する沿線無線機５がそれぞれ接続されている。各地上装置６は、互いに接続されており、各地上装置６は、各地上装置６との間で情報の送受信を行うことができるように構成されている。 In addition, a ground device 6 is installed for each of these management areas, and to each of the ground devices 6 are connected radio devices 5 belonging to each management area in which the ground device 6 is installed. Each ground device 6 is connected to each other, and each ground device 6 is configured to be able to transmit and receive information to and from each ground device 6.
　そして、各地上装置６は、沿線無線機５と車上無線機４との通信を行った際の通信時間を計測することにより、沿線無線機５と列車２との距離を演算し、列車２が現在管理区域のどの位置に存在しているかを検知するように構成されている。そして、地上装置６から沿線無線機５および車上無線機４を介して列車位置情報に基づく制限速度や走行可能距離の情報を送信し、車上装置３は、自列車２のブレーキ性能に従って速度パターンを生成し、走行速度が速度パターンを超過した時に速度パターン以下の速度になるようにブレーキ装置を制御して減速するように構成されている。 And each ground apparatus 6 calculates the distance of the along-line radio | wireless machine 5 and the train 2 by measuring the communication time at the time of communicating with the along-line radio | wireless machine 5 and the on-board radio | wireless machine 4, and train 2 Is configured to detect where in the management area is currently located. Then, information on the speed limit and travelable distance based on the train position information is transmitted from the ground device 6 via the railroad line radio device 5 and the onboard radio device 4, and the onboard device 3 speeds according to the braking performance of the own train 2. A pattern is generated, and when the traveling speed exceeds the speed pattern, the brake device is controlled to decelerate so that the speed becomes equal to or less than the speed pattern.
　ここで、各地上装置６の間においても、互いに情報の送受信を行うものであるが、いずれかの地上装置６が何らかの理由で故障した場合には、他の地上装置６は、故障した地上装置６との間で、情報の送受信を行うことができなくなる。そのため、本実施形態においては、地上装置６は、別の地上装置６との情報の送受信を行うことができない場合は、その地上装置６が故障したものと判断するように構成されている。そして、地上装置６は、故障した地上装置６が管理する区域に列車２が進入しないように、故障した地上装置６が管理する区域までの走行可能距離を演算し、この走行可能距離を沿線無線機５および車上無線機４を介して車上装置３に送信するように構成されている。そして、車上装置３は、この走行可能距離情報に従って速度パターンを生成し、この速度パターンに基づいて列車２の走行制御を行うように構成されている。 Here, each ground device 6 also transmits and receives information to and from each other. However, if any of the ground devices 6 fails for some reason, the other ground devices 6 No information can be exchanged with 6. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ground device 6 is configured to determine that the ground device 6 has failed when information cannot be transmitted to and received from another ground device 6. Then, the ground device 6 calculates the travelable distance to the area managed by the failed ground device 6 so that the train 2 does not enter the area managed by the failed ground device 6, and this travelable distance is wirelessly transmitted along the line. It is configured to transmit to the onboard device 3 via the machine 5 and the onboard radio 4. The on-board device 3 is configured to generate a speed pattern according to the travelable distance information and to control the traveling of the train 2 based on the speed pattern.
　なお、地上装置６が他の地上装置６の故障を判断する場合、隣接する地上装置６に限定されるものではなく、故障した地上装置６から列車２の進行方向に対して複数個手前の地上装置６により、故障を判断するようにしてもよい。これにより、地上装置６の故障を判断した際に、列車２の現在の位置から故障した地上装置６の管理区域までの距離が短い場合に、故障した地上装置６の管理区域までに列車２を停止させることができなくなる事態を防止することができるものである。 When the ground device 6 determines a failure of another ground device 6, the ground device 6 is not limited to the adjacent ground device 6, and a plurality of ground devices in front of the traveling direction of the train 2 from the failed ground device 6. The device 6 may determine the failure. Accordingly, when the failure of the ground device 6 is determined, if the distance from the current position of the train 2 to the management area of the failed ground device 6 is short, the train 2 is moved to the management area of the failed ground device 6. It is possible to prevent a situation where it cannot be stopped.
　次に、本実施形態の制御動作について、図３に示すフローチャートを参照して説明する。 Next, the control operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
　まず、沿線無線機５と車上無線機４との間で通信を行い、この通信時間を計測することにより、各地上装置６により、沿線無線機５と列車２との距離を演算し、列車２の現在の位置を検知する（ＳＴ１）。 First, communication between the lineside radio 5 and the onboard radio 4 is performed, and by measuring the communication time, the distance between the lineside radio 5 and the train 2 is calculated by each ground device 6. 2 is detected (ST1).
　そして、地上装置６から沿線無線機５および車上無線機４を介して列車位置情報に基づく制限速度や走行可能距離の情報を車上装置３に送信し、車上装置３は、自列車２のブレーキ性能に従って速度パターンを生成し、この速度パターンに従って列車２の走行制御を行う（ＳＴ２）。 Then, information on the speed limit and travelable distance based on the train position information is transmitted from the ground device 6 to the on-board device 3 via the along-line radio device 5 and the on-board radio device 4. A speed pattern is generated according to the braking performance of the train 2 and the traveling control of the train 2 is performed according to the speed pattern (ST2).
　そして、地上装置６は、他の地上装置６と情報の送受信を行うことができなくなった場合には、その地上装置６が故障したものと判断し（ＳＴ３）、地上装置６により、故障した地上装置６の管理区域までの走行可能距離を演算し（ＳＴ４）、この走行可能距離を沿線無線機５および車上無線機４を介して車上装置３に送信する。そして、車上装置３は、この走行可能距離情報に従って速度パターンを生成し、この速度パターンに基づいて列車２の走行制御を行う（ＳＴ５）。これにより、列車２は、故障した地上装置６の管理区域に進入してしまうことがない。 Then, if the ground device 6 cannot transmit / receive information to / from other ground devices 6, the ground device 6 determines that the ground device 6 has failed (ST3), and the ground device 6 causes the ground device 6 to fail. The travelable distance to the management area of the device 6 is calculated (ST4), and this travelable distance is transmitted to the on-board device 3 via the lineside radio device 5 and the onboard radio device 4. And the on-board apparatus 3 produces | generates a speed pattern according to this travelable distance information, and performs driving | running | working control of the train 2 based on this speed pattern (ST5). Thereby, the train 2 does not enter the management area of the failed ground device 6.
　以上述べたように、本実施形態においては、地上装置６が故障した場合に、故障した地上装置６の管理区域までの走行可能距離を演算するとともに、この走行可能距離を沿線無線機５および車上無線機４を介して車上装置３に送信し、車上装置３により、この走行可能距離情報に従って速度パターンを生成し、この速度パターンに基づいて列車２の走行制御を行うようにしているので、列車２が、故障した地上装置６が管理する区域に進入してしまうことを確実に防止することができる。その結果、列車２が制御不能となることを確実に防止することができ、しかも、面倒な復旧手続も不要となる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, when the ground device 6 breaks down, the travelable distance to the management area of the failed ground device 6 is calculated, and the travelable distance is calculated based on the lineside radio device 5 and the vehicle. It transmits to the on-board device 3 via the upper radio 4, and the on-board device 3 generates a speed pattern according to the travelable distance information, and performs the traveling control of the train 2 based on this speed pattern. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the train 2 from entering the area managed by the failed ground device 6. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the train 2 from becoming uncontrollable, and a troublesome recovery procedure is also unnecessary.
